It seems to have been a month for #medieval history. I found Dan Jones’ book on Henry V fascinating. Many historians have judged & will come to judge Henry. What was particularly different about Dan Jones’ approach was that over half the book was devoted to his “apprenticeship”. #Medievalsky

I was very busy with my book project and only had time for a short recipe post today: Boring foods on a stick, fifteenth-century style. (Frying, roasting, adding eggs - these guys would understand Glasgow cuisine very well) #medievalsky #culinaryhistory www.culina-vetus.de/2025/02/23/b...

There were requests for more of the #Norwich bosses: So here is St.John the Evangelist. But the carver clearly had to have eagles explained to him as a bit like a brown seagull, but bigger. So that's what we got: it is even stealing a chip, ah - St. John's scroll. #AncientBluesky #medievalsky

Fantastic example of why cataloguing needs to be an iterative process and why we need to keep revisiting old catalogues and understudied manuscripts. And of course the cherry on top is the Phillipps provenance! #MedievalSky #ManuscriptStudies

A stunning day out yesterday at the Bath Fashion Museum stores. They hold an exceptional collection of 17th-century gloves and other embroidered items. You can really follow a shift from metal thread to ribbons and appreciate the meticulous stitches that gave each glove their shape. #earlymodern

Believe it or not, Henry VIII’s wives were not the only women he beheaded - he also executed Elizabeth Barton (c. 1506-34), whose head was impaled on a spike on London Bridge. Why? 1/2

Kentwell Hall’s #15thcentury Moat House houses a working #brew house, bakehouse, #dairy and stillroom. Few houses of this date still have service buildings surviving let alone in operation so it is a rare chance to see how a manor house supplied its household. #tudor #medievalmonday #earlymodern

It's several stockfish recipes from the 15th century today, including one for floured, pan-fried slices served in a pepper sauce. Stockfish was common, but is rarely treated with this much respect. #culinaryhistory #medievalsky www.culina-vetus.de/2025/02/08/s...
